The fixed-base operator (Regional Jet Center) filled up our fuel tanks and provided complimentary hot dogs and ice cream for brunch. FBO’s provide services for all kinds of aircraft; everything from a small Cessna 152 to a charter Boeing Business Jet. When we reached the OATES intersection, I pointed the Six toward Winslow.

Static Air Temperature (SAT) – This is the temperature of the undisturbed air around the aircraft; also referred to as outside air temperature (OAT). Cruise TAT in a jet is typically 30°C (54°F) higher than the outside air temperature. When standing still outside, you feel the static air temperature.

Jet engines also experience reduced thrust in less dense air. Jet engines use air for combustion and propulsion, so with less dense air, less gas is forced out of the exhaust, which leads to reduced thrust. Note: OAT and ISA Standard Temperature should be in degrees Celsius.
